    I’m a big track fan and I didn’t even know about her. She seems like a great person. Thank you for making this video. I’m rooting for you Courtney!

    it was such a unique environment to document incredibly explosive athletes do something so slow & meditative like yoga.
    Courtney is scary fast

    We remember Courtney..an excellent leg and formidable closer. Good luck to her. It won't be easy but her experience might pay off. Hope she makes it on the Mixed 4x400m squad.

      When she ran sub 50 in college that was a unicorn, now everyone runs sub 50. Greath career at Texas. I am praying she makes the relay teams for France..

      @@gns3185 sub 50 is that magical barrier world class women strive for. She did it without a new mondo surface and the super shoes. But you are right, especially when the collegiate record is a full second faster now then when she broke it.

    Okolo has carried the heck out of the USA team for many years and there is no excuse why she should be without sponsor, unless, that is, she refused to do the dope they wanted to give her. So many people are blacklisted from this sport many didn’t realize (Tori Bowie was one of them after she fought Shaunae Miller Uibo…suddenly training camp accused her of owning them money, etc., when she wasn’t required to pay), and notice how slow she was when she kept trying to run fast again. The politics in this sport are nasty, and I’m feeling no reason she shouldn’t have a contract unless she refused to play the dirty game, or something of that sort.

    This year, it may take to get below to 49.70 to get to top 3 at the trials.
    Someone might even dip below 49:00...Best of good lack.
    Getting to the final and getting a consideration for the relay would be a success..
